Page moves (underarm)
Please do not move by copy-and-paste. This is improper for licensing reasons (we have to keep the contribution history) and it just makes more work for the person who eventually moves it properly. If you aren't able to move a page, please go to requested moves for help. Thank you. Jonathunder 05:01, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Please don't copy and paste the talk page, either. Just let me finish doing the move correctly. OK? Jonathunder 05:19, 4 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Jonathunder! I am sorry it didn't get done properly first time around (actually, with the redirect from Underarm to underarm, that was messy). But the chances of me spending any time finding requested moves to deal with an article like this is about as likely as you now improving the move page so that people know there is a requested moves page (by actually linking to or mention requested moves, or by improving the linked meta page). There would likely still be an article ending in a full stop if it wasn't for my initial attempt, which arguably led to the permanent fix being done in a more effective and timely way. Regarding the talk page job, that was done concurrently so you're totally off on your own with that one. Good on you for taking the time to sort me out though, your friendly, pleasant style is really endearing. MilitaryTarget 11:09, 6 February 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry if you didn't like my tone, but there is a reason the instructions on the linked requested moves page say do not move by cut-and-paste. (You refered to those instructions when you broke them.) Moving after a cut-and-paste job is much more difficult and takes much longer. The page was already listed at requested moves. Your cut & paste did not speed up that move; it hampered it. When you did the same on the talk page, it doubled the work again and it did make me cranky. So please just don't do that again, OK?

 * I referred informally to that page without specific knowledge of it, back then. I also note that the move template was not placed on the talk page of the article in question, as required by requested moves, and that since our last pleasant interchange, the move page has changed and now actually refers to requested moves. So please just don't forget that there are much more important WP principles on how to conduct yourself with other users than requested moves, OK? MilitaryTarget 06:25, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Good work so far on societal collapse
Hey, MilitaryTarget, you really put some rigor into the Societal collapse article. Keep up the good work. Madman 03:25, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Immigration to Australia
Thankyou for having a go at the "views" sections of Immigration to Australia. Keep up the good work, and feel welcome to edit that section further. --Scott Davis Talk 11:50, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
